Learn the secrets to ergonomic designs with Nicholas Purcell‘s beautiful space-saving furniture paired with Birdman The Welder‘s clean and functional mantra or colour pops by THRIVE Studio‘s strong female contingents.

Other talented craftspeople that will be lending their expertise to the display include MāK Interiors, Fabulous Furnishings, Pot Inc, Stefanie Dueck, Erica Leal, GREY by Becki Chan, Antipod Workshop, mth woodworks, Alison Kent Home, and Will Morrison Studio—looks like the gang’s all here.
